UPDATE: Angus has been adopted!
Location: New York, NY
In New York we have lovely Angus who is 4 years old. He's a beautiful sable male that needs a nice new home. He is up to date on his vaccinations and veterinary care - having last seen a vet in November 2025.
Angus is incredibly affectionate. He loves being pet, cuddling, having his back, chin area, or the top of his head gently scratched, curling up on someone's lap, etc. It's very clear that his favorite place to be is around his family/people. He purrs very loudly as well and is constantly nuzzling us (e.g. doing "head nudges").
Angus sometimes gets the "zoomies" as we call them at night and will seem to chase things that are not there, running from one end of our apartment to the other before settling down again. Angus also loves to play and sleep in anything tent-like, e.g. when our son makes a pillow fort, if we are traveling and have our suitcases open he will bury himself amongst all our clothing, he loves sitting in laundry baskets, etc. Angus is very talkative and we find it amusing that when our daughter makes sounds/does baby talk he always responds to her with a similar sounding meow, it's like they are having their own conversation.
Angus has not lived with other cats or dogs so we don't have knowledge of how he'd engage with other animals.
Angus is incredibly gentle, relaxed, and affectionate with the owner's infant daughter who just turned 1. He has been that way for the entirety of her life - even when, as a baby, she has been understandably noisy or unpredictable in her movements. For example, she shrieks excitedly when she sees him and he is never startled or scared, she has pulled at his fur a few times while learning to pet him gently and he's never responded with any aggression, she runs around him while he's stationary (e.g. due to resting or cleaning himself) and he always just sits or lays down calmly and nuzzles her. Angus is also very affectionate and engaged with the eldest child who is 9 years old. They rest together, Angus is nearly always sitting by his side or following him around and Angus loves when the son plays games with him (e.g. chasing toys, playing under blankets, etc.). It has been noticed that the only times Angus seems to behave less well is when he wants attention from our son (or us) or thinks he is playing when he's not. For example, if the eldest son is relaxing under his bed covers and Angus sees his feet move he has tried to pounce on or wrestle with them. He has also jumped at legs mostly at night if he seemingly wants to play. This has caused some scratches and nibbles from mouthing fingers during play.
This is a private adoption. If you would like to adopt Angus please use the "Send Message" button to apply. I don't always catch interested people if you simply comment on the post.
